The alpha spectrum following the beta decay of N-16 from the isotope separator TISOL has been measured by detecting 10 exp 6 particles in coincidence with C-12 nuclei. These data, which show a low-energy interference anomaly accompanying the main alpha peak, permit a more precise determination of the p-wave amplitude of the astrophysically important reaction (C-12)(alpha,gamma)(O-16). The alpha spectrum and previous gamma-ray data have been fitted simultaneously by a K-matrix parametrization; a value of S(E = 0.3 MeV) = 57 +/- 13 keV b has been obtained for the E1 part of the (C-12)(alpha,gamma)(O-16) reaction.
